thanks everyone will keep an eye but loving the saw at the moment she got some power fair play weather it will hold up time will tell
-
That’s good to no thanks for the feed back
-
just bought a brand new 572xp and i love it anything i should look out for any issues with them its this year model so im assuming its had the chain cover upgrade as i hear the earlier models were breaking anything else it seems to run fine otherwise how long do they take to run in open up or is it relitivly out the box thoughts on reliability ????
-
She will take down big stuff lads ?? has the saw over a month been putting it through its paces IMG_0626.MP4
-
hi thanks for your question the balance is very good i was thinking the same before i had it of echo to review and test u will be pleasantly surprised how well it feels in the hand its very good
-
did i ever say i was an echo convert hahaha o i am missing one saw from my collection 2511tes isn't hear but iv been testing reviewing the new battery dcs2500t for a few weeks now i test review echo saws a full review will be up on the echo blog page soon any questions feel free to ask lads try and answer them as much as i can on the saw
-
yes i did pull the exhaust of and drilled it out from the back just need to give it e retune and see how she rips waiting on carb adjuster screwdriver set to arrive in post lost my only one i had
-

-
picked up my brand new 362 top handle today already muffler modded it spark arrestor pulled out love it great saw feels good waiting to get carb screwdriver give it a tune as she runs in and let it rip
-
interesting i see they do the 6ah battery i wonder how much better they are the thing that is attracting me is the battery are so much cheaper to buy than lets say a still battery and the husqvarna battery for there battery saws to be honest anything over 12/14 inch bar id be wanting something bigger sent up anyway to do take down

I have the makita 254z 18v, which is light but only good for light pruning. A guy that works with me has the t540i, it is very impressive compared to the makita, loads more power and battery life. It is a proper topper. The price is off-putting though. It also weighs about the same as a petrol one, and my elbows like a lighter saw. im curious to find out what the bigger brother to the 254z is like it looks pretty good power wise the t540i is just to expensive when u consider you need two battery for it
-
ok lets start this off so iv been looking around at the battery top handle market and iv tested the new husqvarna t540i witch i liked but was not impressed with the price and battery but i can't help looking at the new makita duc306z top handle is it any good and u can get one hell of a deal on one 489ponds with two battery and charger on 14inch bar i recon personally its these brands like makita dewalt Milwaukee will steal the battery top handle market that's just my own opinion they been doing battery powered tools for several decades haha
-
yes that's the one i should have it this week im on the list to review and test the new 70cc as soon as it arrives hear as well but i haven't heard anything back from echo uk yet im pursuing the subject but news is thin im sure i will hear something this week from them
-
i have the new dis 2500t arriving this week from echo uk for me to test and review i will start a new thread on it sorry iv been a little quiet on hear lately as for the new 70cc news has gone quiet due to covid 19 im guessing production and shipping is delayed things if i hear anything i will post info up im hoping to get my hands on one very soon
-
ok cool was it an arse to actually get the cat out or relatively easy ?? yeah i haven't seen anyone post pics vids of one modded on hear or any where a timing advance make a big difference im keen to see if i can get one to be a 201t ripper
-
anyone got pics of muffler modded 362/360 they want to show and how much of a difference is it made as im going to get a 362tes soon
-
had one on demo yesterday for the day loved it great power compared to the old one its on par with the t540 xp fuel saw but it does have its draw backs its heavy with battery mounted in little bit more than the t540 with a 16 bar on it and you will need a second battery as well as one battery will only last you a few hours if your up a tree cutting or doing a complete take down f&r jones have them for sale few other online shops have them and local dealer to u could get them in
-
hi there people i can put you in touch with some one who can ship you one of the echo cs1201 from abroad he is an echo dealer from Malaysia they are not cheap brand new in the box with shipping to the uk if your interested give me a reply and i will tell u the price jam very keen to get one in the near future as its a very sort after saw and not made for the european market
-
Watch till the end the new 70cc looks a beast and makes an appearance
-
i can't justify the price fr jones has it at nearly 800 pounds with battery charger and bar and chain im guessing from a dealer it will be more and how long will a battery last is it going to last all day on one charge hmmmm i don't think so so another battery will need to be purchased im all go for battery powered top handles but for now il stick with my echo top handle
-
Ok hear u go people I have the latest update from my dealer on price of the new saw its apparently going to be £650 plus vat hear with bar this has sealed the deal for me it's cheaper than 572xp and 462 in it's class and apparently comes with a tsamuru pro bar with the saw amazing fair play to echo ???
-
Yes it makes a very noticable difference. Id definitely suggest a tune up, as could well be running pretty lean now. When i did mine it was over revving alot thanks for the info i will see how she runs and keep a close eye on it hadn't run it for long but only time will tell i guess
-
pull the spark arrestor out and muffler mod it retune and she will open up after several tanks first iv heard of a 360t being that sluggish
